According to Stefan Bondy of the NY Daily News, the Brooklyn Nets have had internal discussions about acquiring Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal and forming a Big Three comprised of he, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant. While the Nuggets would likely prefer to have Beal to themselves, adding a much-needed third star to their own core, there’s still a way to benefit from the Nets’ potential pursuit of Beal.
Beal will make $28.8 million next season, which is a lot of dough but well worth it when considering his playmaking abilities and explosive scoring. Because of Beal’s salary and star power, Denver could make an appealing case that adding themself as a third team in a hypothetical trade could make sense for both Washington and Brooklyn.
